z As commencement week advances the
crowd increases. Every train brings a
delegation who come for tho purpose OF
witnessing the closing exercises OF West
Virginia's greatest educational institution,
and seeing what the University Ia doing
for her sons. The weather, by no means
favorable at first, has taken a decided turn
and is all that could DO expac.ed. The
festivities are always looked forward to
with unusual interest, and the festivities
are gayer. the music Bwester, and the
speeches more eloquent, and the gradu.
stea handsomer than ever grsced our
classic halls. There Is general opinion
Of satiefaction expressed with the work
ings Of the school and the increased at.
tendance speaks volumes. The Regents
are stimulated to greater action and feel
they must do more for the school. DR.,
Turner'S brief career as President has
been well received by the Board, who
feel they have the right man in the right
place. H.s't5
